EX-SENATOR JONES.
BE is Not a Psuper and will Bun for the
Senate q gain.

BE is Not Pauper and will Run for TIC
Senate gain.
DETROIT, MICH, Nov. 26 Within the
past few days dispatches have been sent
from Detroit to newspapers all over tn
country seriously rejecting upon the
condition, financial and mental, OF ex-
United States Senator Charles w Jones
Of Florida, who has resided in Detroit
since March, 1885. There is 10 doubt
that the ex-Senator's finances are not in
ss good condition as when he was in re-
ceipt Of s larry from the United States,
but he is not in any sense psuper, nor is
his mind unbalanced. Some few weeks
ago Mr.. Jones chose TO leave his hotel and
become the guest Of Dr. CT ctiVe P O'Niell
at whose house he is still an inmate By
invitation. To-day man named DIS wson
took the liberty of circulating Il subscrip-
ton. This was the last straw. Tonight
Mr.. Jones iseued the following
card, the first expression regarding him
self since coming to Detroit:
To the Editor of the Free Press:
'I see it stated in an evening paper
that an appeal is being made to the public
in my behalf. I have never taken any
notice up to now of anything said in the
public press about me or my family 1
now desire to say have given no author
ity to anyone to ask contributions Of
money for me, and that am not an ap-
plicant for public charity.
Signed. CHARLES ". JONES'"
Elk Senator Jones states that he pro-
poses to return to Florida to live after he
has settled up his affairs IN Detroit and
will be candidate forlUnited States SEN

TITS ungeneroEs to laugh at the New
York Republicans. Just think OF how it
was with yourself for quarter of GEN.
tury. New York Republicans have not
learned to bear the burden with humility
and patience. They have not learned
how to cook crow like the Democrats,
but they are learning, and will begin to
fancy the bird in twenty-five years.

In VIEW of the prevalent theory that
the chofers never rsges as an epidemic in
winter, The New York Mail and Express
thiafssit is well to state facts, as given
by Hirsch, in his Handbook of Geo
graphical Pathology" one of the most
trustworthy of authorities on this i'm
portant subject. Hirsch, in this book,
gives q table OF 92O cholera epidemics in
extra Indian countries in the sew
aral months. Of these, forty-two
began in the winter anc 12I in the au-
tumn, $50 began when the temperature
Was between 80 and IS degrees Fahren-
heit and seventy when it was under Il
degrees. Il 1880 cholera appeared in
Moscow in October and lasted until the
end Of December. In 1881 it appeared in
great Britain in the fall, lasted until
March, and was most prevalent in De-
cember. The epidemic of 1913 49 in this
country began in November in New Or
leans, reached St. Louis II Jsnusry. the
Upper Mississippi in March, and Chicago
in May. In 1873 it began in New Orleans
in February, and spread rapidly north

THE government experiments this year
in making sugar from sorghum are said
to have been very successful. On fair
soil the yield of cane was an average Of
twelve tons. The average yield of sugar
per acre was about 1900 pounds and Of
syrup $50 gallons. 1t is claimed that at
this rate, even at the present low price of
sugar, the business OF making sugar from
sorghum would be very profitable.

The Yakuts of Siberia.

Three hundred yersts from Yakutsk
saw men OF 70 and 20 with sets of teeth
small and pearly white and polished and
healthy as those Of the handsOmest Amer
ican girl of sixteen. Decay and suffering
and unsigltliness and loss are actually
unknown. A physician Of Yakutsk told
me that he believes the reason of this
phenomenon is To be found in the habits
and kind of food eaten by the natives, as
well as 10 certain care taken by them
from childhood up. In the first place the
lakuts do not touch sugar in any form
for the simple reason that they cannot
afford TO purchase it. Secondly, they are
in the habit OF drinking daily large guam
titles of fermented sour milk, summer and
winter, which is an anti-scorbutic and is
very beneficial in preserving the teeth.
And lastly, they have the habit of chew
ing preparation of the rosin of the fir
tree, a piece Of which, tasting like tar,
they masticate after every meal, in order
specially 10 clean the teeth and gums of
particles of food that may remain after
meals. The gum or rosin is sold and pre-
pared by all apothecaries in Siberia, and
is much used 10y Russian ladies. II any
one would make an exhaustive study on
this subject and publish the results Of his
observations lie would. imagine. confer
a lasting benefit on suffering humanity

One of the most noticeable things 10 me
in Holland was the familiar type Of faces,
the same to be seen every day in the streets
Of New York. ! would see some we'll
known face and ascost him only to be
greeted with reply in Dutch. 1t is very
clear to Il visitor that many VI New York S
prominent people have Dutch ancestors.
In some parts Of Holland l saw faces VI
the pure Yankee type. Coming over on
the Flushing steamer saw man at the
wheel who looked for all the world like .
Vermont Yankee. He had sharp, aquiline
features and the short chin whiskers so
much affected in the pictures of Uncle
sam. Any American seeing such a man
would swear that he was from New Eng
land. Yet he was n Dutchman who had
never been very far from Holland and who
knew not a word of English.
I have always believed that ''chin
whiskers" were peculiarly American. The
caricaturisr of Uncle Sam is responsible
for this. Yet have found this style very
common in England and Holland. Many
of the English c;tbbies wear chin whiskers
II this style, which the Hon. Bardwell
Slote Affects, is American, it was origi
nally borrowed from Europe.-T. c.

Bean bag parties ale all the rage In
Washington and society bells are hecom-
ing very expert at the new game. At one
end of the parior or hall is placed an in
clined board with a square hole in 1t.
Standing at the other end-and the
further away from the board the more
fun there is in the game-the players
pitch ten bean bags toward the hole. A
regular score is kept, and if the ten bags
fall i'll the hole IL counts 100, or ten for
eaca bag. Another bag, couble the usual
size, is also provided, and If this also is
thrown into the square opening it adds
twenty, making 100. the highest possible
score. Should any of the bags remain on
the board they count five points apiece,
but for every bag that is thrown upon or
falls to the floor five points are sub
tracted. The big bag, or Jumbo, counts
double, or ten in each case.
Many young society ladies have become
quite expert at pitching the little bags.
and show excellent skill in accurately
gauging the distance and the strength
necessary to be exerted. In most cases
the bags are made of gayly colored ticking,
Jumbo being individualized by material
Of a different pattern, but a few young
ladies have taken pains to have hand
somely embroidered receptacles for the
beans. The board is generally OF plain
wood, polished, about two feet wide and
three feet long and nine or ten inches high
at its greatest distance from the ground.
The hole is about five inches square, and
the smaller bags little larger. Jumbo
contains pint of beans and the other
bags half that quantity. In many houses
where the game is played handsome
prizes are awarded to those making the
highest scores. The sport is full of inter-
est, and bean bag boards are now found
in every household which expects to be
considered mp TO the times.-Washington

since we have noticed as perceptible a
ripple of excitement as was yesterday ere
ated by little incident which occurred on
east Main street.
Owing. no doubt, to the present wet
weather and the muddy, slippery condition
of our streets this little accident occurred.
and, while il is now laughed off as a good
Joke, vet for time it really looded serious
for the party most Interested.
We may probably as well adt that the
principal in this affair Is one Of the best
known citizens Of Springfield, which will
make it all the more interesting to our
readers.

the nature of which was beyond imagin-
